Overview
- Drew Goddard said he proposed a two-movie plan to Marvel Studios before the character shifted to television.
- He described a first film centered on Kingpin and a second that pitted Daredevil against the Punisher.
- He recalled Marvel liking the idea yet worrying the material felt too adult for its then PG-13 film strategy.
- He clarified he was not going to be the Netflix showrunner, with Steven S. DeKnight taking that role.
- The coverage places his pitch in a longer arc that includes Fox’s stalled R-rated attempt, the TV-MA launch in 2015, and Marvel’s later move into R-rated films in 2024.
